Notes

Live performance at Madison Square Garden, June/July 2000. Bruce Springsteen is visually confirmed playing his iconic Telecaster/Esquire hybrid. No pedalboard is visible or documented for this song/section; tone is clean and amp-based. No evidence of additional effects or alternate guitars for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff section is based on clean, open chord voicings with a gentle, steady rhythm. The main challenge is maintaining dynamic control and clarity at a soft volume, rather than technical complexity.
